SAMUEL PAGE, OF CHELSEA, MASSACHUSETTS. Letters Patent No. 64,443, dated M'ag 7, 1867.

IMPROVED COMPOSITION FOR PAINTING AND VARNISHING.

TO ALL WHOM ITtMAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL PAGE, of Chelsea, in the county of Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful improvement in Painting and varnishing Material and I do hereby declare the following to be a full andexact description of the same.

This invention relates to an improvement in the b ck t-, ,,y;t ;n,i h combined, which constitutes the subject-matter of Letters Patent granted to me on the eleventh day of October, A. D. 1859. The said-patent covers a mixture of the light distillate of coal tarpproduccd by distillation at a certain low temperature, and the residuum left from a further distillation of theiar at a higher temperature.

The present improvement consists in ro-distillingtho said light distillate and mixing the light product of this further distillation with the residuum, instead of employing the first distillate. The distillatefwhich is styled parafline spirit-s, is refined and purified by this additional distilling process, and adapts it to impart increased lustre and durability to the varnish or paint when applied.

The combined paint and varnish which I make by simply mixing together the light distillate and residuum, when properly ap' plied to Wood, is anflepiilgpro ction agwt orms, never fouls is n qt ag'ec ted by salt pmter,

It is elastic, easilyapplied, requires no mixing or preparation, gives and retains a superior lustre on all articles of wood, iron, paper, cloth, or leather, and covers much more surface than the same quantity of any other paint or varnish; v

Having described myinvention, the following is what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent: I claim treating the light distillate by additional distillation, substantially as and for the purpose described. To the above specification of my improvement I have signed my hand this 29th day of March, I867. SAMUEL PAGE.
